I was staring at the sky through my window office at the 26th floor of Wayne enterprise building and in my solitude there were many questions that were left unanswered like 'Why did she do that' or 'What were she's thinking' . Those questions kept on repeating in my head since last week. I knew I had to talked with her but it's been a week since I last talk and see Zatanna but I didn't made any moves to confront her. When I remembered it I can't feel the feeling of being betrayed like I have been stabbed by hundreds of knives behind my back. After last week event, I started to questioned those people around me.
'Are they hiding secrets from me' I thought angrily. Thinking about it I vent my anger to the table by slamming my fist on it and luckily it survived. Then I heard my office door opened. I turned around and saw Penny my PA was standing there shivering with fear
"Ms. Zatanna is on line one she wants to talk with you" she informed. I calmed my self down before I spoke.
"Tell her that I have a meeting" Penny gave me a questioned looked but didn't dwell on the subject and just left my office suite leaving with my solitude once again.
I fished out the handkerchief from my pocket, put on my table and sat down on my swivel chair. I stared at it for a long time not knowing what to do with it, I want to burned it but there was something that stopping me from doing it. For obvious reasons, this handkerchief meant something to me that I really can't comprehend. The more I think about these stuffs my curiosity overwhelmed me. I really want to know the answers and I will find those answers. I massage my temple as an impending headache was coming.
For the past couple of days I had the same dream. I was looking at this crystal clear ocean on top of a cliff and beside me was a woman with long beautiful and silky hair that sways as the breeze blew it. The feeling of familiarity was unexpected, I know deep in my heart and my mind that I knew this woman but I can't remember her. If I want to investigate this bizarre situation that I am in I should start first by finding the identity of the woman.
Suddenly I heard my mobile ringing, I looked at the caller id and it was Wally. I answered the phone and heard his annoying voice.
"Hey Dick! What's up?" he asked.
"What do you want?" hinting my irritation towards him.
"Come on Dick. I just want to talk with you about something". My frustration grew even more when he said that. I knew Zatanna may had said something to Artemis about last week incident but I really don't want to talk about it to anyone including Wally. Aretmis must have asked Wally to talk with me but this time it won't work.
"No" I answered firmly.
"Well too bad because I really need to talk to you" and suddenly my office door burst opened and entered Wally with my PA hovering at his back.
"Sir I am really sorry but he insisted that he wants to talk to you and I told him that you don't want to be disturbed" Penny explained. I just gave her a nod and my PA left closing the door behind her. Silently, Wally sat at one of the chair in front of my desk and just looked at me. We stared at each other for a few minutes until he broke the silence between us.
"Do you want to say something" he asked
"I guess Zatanna might have said something to Artemis"
"I would not be here if she is concern with her best friend"
"I don't own everybody an explanation"
"I get it that you don't want to talk about it particularly about your memories" he paused "But you left everything behind when you decided to became the CEO of Wayne Enterprise and let Batman do the crime fighting ways".
When I came back from Santorini 7 years ago, Bruce told me to gave up my identity as Nightwing not because I was no longer capable but every time I helped the league with a mission. There were times I suffered from a severe migraine that sometimes I jeopardized the mission. The doctor explained that due to my head trauma from the accident my brain was trying to recover some of my lost memories and maybe those activities that I did as Nightwing triggers it so he advise me to take it easy. I was angry at that time because Nightwing gave me a purpose in life. Nightwing was my identity and to gave it all up was like losing my purpose- my identity. However, Bruce said we should take any precautions and follow the doctor's advise. And here I am, Dick Grayson CEO of Wayne Enterprise and Bruce well Batman.
"Your point is..." I raised one of my eyebrow as I wait for Wally to finish his speech.
"So what does the old man wants from you this time?" he straightforwardly asked
"I told you that…."
"That you don't own everybody an explanation I get it" he interrupted me-giving a I SURRENDER gesture "Dick are you going to help the old man?"
"I don't know yet". I never thought about the reason why Bruce wants me to help him this time. Maybe he wants me to recover my memories at the same time try to find out the Joker's plans. It suited me just fine because it had been a long time that I had been doing this and it gave a thrill to my boring business life.
"You were always at my back Wally" I said.
"And I am still behind your stubborn ass back" We both laughed at the remark but Wally suddenly change the mood "But whatever your plan is and if you needed my help call me, ok man?" I nodded
"I never thought that you are this classy cliché kinda guy Walz"
"Well! you made me a classy cliché kinda guy but enough about that. I need you to come with me"
"Where?"
"To Madison cafe"
"Why?"
"Why are you asking questions?"
"Because I what to know why do I need to give you my spare time" Wally gave me a dangerous glare and I just shrugged.
"Fine" I reluctantly said, grabbed my jacket, put it on and stood up.
We left the building and it only took us 30 minutes to reach the cafe by foot since it is near to my office. We settle on a table that is near to the window and ordered some coffees and sandwiches. When the waiter left with our order, I asked Wally a question.
"So why are we here exactly?"
"We are going to meet the wedding planner that we hired" he answered back.
"Wow! Walz I never thought that you really love me that much" I jokingly said - giving my I heart you look.
"Funny Grayson" he grimly said "Artemis has an emergency meeting so she can't make it" he added
"Then you guys should reschedule the meeting"
"Well yeah but this the only time that the wedding planner can meet us. She said something about peak season. I really don't know what she means about that"
"Women stuff" I said.
"Women stuff" he repeated
"Fortunately for Artemis. Unfortunately for me" I smirked and started to drink my coffee.
"Maybe you will learn something once you popped the question to Zatanna"
I didn't reply. I knew deep in my heart I want to get married but will it be with Zatanna,will I spend the rest of my life with her? For the first time in my life I have doubts with our relationship not because of the event last week but for some reasons I felt like she is not for me.
"Oh! Here she comes" Wally spoke. I turned my head around and I saw her. At the cafe entrance door is the woman that has been hunting my dreams for a long time-the black hair beauty. It seems time froze and the people around us do not matter anymore. It was just me and her in this world. I could feel my heart beating fast, palm sweating and uneven breathing. The feeling of unexpected possessiveness came to me like a tsunami that crash over me. 'What is happening to me' I thought. I don't know this person- except that she is Wally and Artemis wedding planner but I knew her, somehow I do know her.
She stopped in front of our table and Wally said something that I didn't comprehend and she sat down between us.
"I am sorry for being late" She apologized.
"That's ok" I heard Wally answered. "But before that let me introduce to you my best friend"
Wally looked at me and the he looked at her
"Dick this is Trinity, Trinity this is Dick" he introduced us both
I was shocked when I heard her name. Is this a joke?
"Trinity" I said it like her name was familiar to me.
"Yes my name is Trinity Hearthrow" She said and my world just turned upside down
'T.H' I thought.
